Stewart: Obama ‘in control’ even when turning into the Hulk

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart Thursday reacted to reports that said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) had claimed President Barack Obama stormed out of a debt ceiling meeting only after scheduling the next meeting.

“Oh, no he didn’t!” Stewart exclaimed. “He all stormed out and was like ‘OK, tomorrow then.’ What? That’s not storming out, that’s ending a meeting by scheduling the next meeting.”

“And I’ve got to say, if that’s Obama mad, that’s weak,” he added. “He’s still so in control. You get the sense if he were the Hulk, when he felt his anger causing the transformation, he’d just excuse himself to change into a bigger suit.”
